I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

      How much do vapes cost?

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Having reached the ripe old age of 62 without ever trying a cigarette, I wondered how much vapes cost? My parents were avid cigarette smokers as were my in-laws and sadly they paid the price. Can’t believe £20 is the norm for a packet of fags now as a family member is still a heavy smoker much to my sadness.  I often see young people in the local newsagent etc choosing a vape flavour like cherry or strawberry as if it’s a normal part of their lives and holding up the queue because they can’t decide.  So can anyone explain the cost of a vape thing and are they addictive?

      New to the area - What's the best Chinese in East Dulwich??

      Maybe not, but I use the same excuse for leftover Indian food. It's quite difficult to similarly rationalise last night's pizza, though.

      Cost of fags in WHS.. Victoria Station

      By NewWave · Posted

      I've realised all retailers based in stations charge a premium-In my last job I had to travel to and from marylebone and I realised the drink I was buying in M&S there was up to 40p more expensive than Lordship Lane M&S-And The drink in question would be water or juice so thats up to a 20% mark-up. The maddest mark-up I experienced recently was when I was unfortunate enough to go to to Bicester Village with a friend who wanted a 'girls day out there' (OLD girls in our case).. We went to Pret a Manger for lunch and the Salad I usually get was £2 more expensive there..ditto all the sandwiches had a couple of quid slapped on them-I've never experienced those mark-ups at Pret's in stations only there.
